Friction, lubrication, adhesion, and wear are prevalent physical phenomena in everyday life and in many key technologies. This book explains how these tribological phenomena originate from atomistic and microscale physical phenomena and shows how this understanding can be used to solve macroscale tribology problems.

Synopsis uitgever

This book covers topics not typically found in Tribology texts emphasising how macroscopic tribological phenomena originate at the atomic and molecular level. J. Paulo Davim International Journal of Surface Science and Engineering 'Tribology on the Small Scale' is an eminently readable book...I think the book is most useful to post-graduate research students and industrial researchers as a general initiator to the field of small-scale tribology. This community is significant and the book will serve a very useful purpose. Tribology Letters The author has brought all the essential topics together and written a superb book, lively and fascinating. Current Engineering PracticeMeer lezen...
